Was a cold early start for the official start of the 'bash'. Wiggo had us out of bed by 5am so that he wouldn't miss his Subway breakfast at 6am and we still didn't get to leave till 7:30am. It was good to mingle with our fellow bashers while we were waiting to hit the road.
We even became pals with the Emerald police.
We hit the road on bitumen but in true 'bashing' style, that didn't last long. They had us on the back roads of the back roads of the goat tracks...We had dust in every crevice of our body and car.
We left Emerald at 7:30am for a 400km trip to Tambo and it only took us 8 1/2 hours...
By the time us 'slow pokes' got to Tambo the school kids were sick of waiting for us so they had all gone home. We had a quick bite, grabbed some fuel & headed off to Blackall the cheats way (via bitumen). We checked in, had a looonnng hot shower then grabbed some dinner. Time for bed as we are exhausted and are in for another early start tomorrow.
Nightly nite....don't let the bed bugs bite.
Loving the Blog guys!
